If you haven’t any experience with Craft’s rigidbodies, and you don’t need precise collision detection (or all your objects are rectangular) here are some simple easy-to-use functions that can do the job.

Nice, personally i was going to use psuedo 3D where i just add 1px dimension to a fake z index on the 2D physics engine, then i trade out “categories” based on diff of z change that is absolute maxed, it creates fake 2.5D piles, but i haven’t really tested it out yet
i will also look into this and how it works
@skar, I don’t really get what you mean, but it sounds cool… have you heard of SAM? It’s a known way to perform collision detection if you can get silhouettes of the objects from different angles. I can do the silhouettes (see touch detection post) but not the angles.
surface to air missile?
not sure what SAM is regarding physics, have a link?
i guess what i’m describing is confusing if i don’t stipulate that it’s in a isometric 2.5D view, so physics is still 2D but offsetting the images that represent those boxes in a “z” direction to prevent them from stacking like 2D boxes, instead some will stack and others will fall to the 4 sides instead of just 2
I got it wrong, it’s SAT — Separating Axis Theorem.
